The Wilson disease protein (ATP7B) is a copper-transporting ATPase that is responsible for regulating copper homeostasis in human tissues. ATP7B is associated with cancer resistance to cisplatin, one of the most widely used anticancer drugs. This minireview discusses the possible mechanisms of tumor resistance to cisplatin mediated by ATP7B. Cisplatin binds to the N-terminal cytosolic domain of ATP7B, which contains multiple copper-binding sites. Active platinum efflux catalyzed by ATP7B is unlikely to significantly contribute to cisplatin resistance in vivo. Transient platinum sequestration in the metal-binding domain followed by transfer to an acceptor protein or a low molecular weight compound is proposed as an alternative mechanism of cisplatin detoxification in the cell.

Objective To study the impacts of curcumin on the proliferation, migration and cisplatin (DDP) resistance of bladder cancer cells by regulating the liver kinase B1-AMP activated protein kinase-microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LKB1-AMPK-LC3) signaling pathway. Methods Human bladder cancer cell line T24 was cultured in vitro, and its DDP resistant T24/DDP cells were induced by cisplatin (DDP). After treating T24 and T24/DDP cells with different concentrations of curcumin, the optimal concentration of curcumin was screened by MTT assay.

Breast cancer is the most common malignancy that affects women. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an essential role in cancer therapy and regulate many biological processes such as cisplatin resistance. The study's objective was to determine whether miR-182 dysregulation was the cause of cisplatin resistance in TNBC cell line MDA-MB-231.

Background/objectives: Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) is a malignant liver tumor with a rising global incidence and poor prognosis, largely due to late-stage diagnosis and limited effective treatment options. Standard chemotherapy regimens, including cisplatin and gemcitabine, often fail because of the development of multidrug resistance (MDR), leaving patients with few alternative therapies. Doxycycline, a tetracycline antibiotic, has demonstrated antitumor effects across various cancers, influencing cancer cell viability, apoptosis, and stemness.

The development of cisplatin resistance often results in a grim prognosis in advanced or recurrent bladder cancer. However, effective treatment strategies for cisplatin resistance have not been well established. Herein, we found that overactivation of SRC is associated with cisplatin-resistance.

Article Synopsis
- Cervical cancer ranks as the fourth most common cancer among women and is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths due to advanced stages and treatment resistance.
- Researchers investigated the role of an epigenetic regulator, polycomb repressor complex 1 (PRC1), specifically focusing on the subunit CBX2, which is found to be increased in cervical cancer and linked to poor patient outcomes.
- The study revealed that CBX2 enhances cancer cell growth, provides resistance to treatments like cisplatin and radiation, and helps maintain cancer stem cell properties, suggesting it could be a key factor for cervical cancer prognosis and a potential target for future therapies.
